This is a current picture. I mentioned that in about 1963, there was a music teacher at my junior high who had one of these when school started. (I was a car geek even then) and just before Christmas, he was in a wreck with a drunk driver and was killed. I don't remember much about school but I do remember that.

It is. Studebaker produced this gem when the big three were producing increasingly massive, chrome laden turnpike cruisers.
For a compact car it is surprisingly roomy and comfortable.
This is probably one of Raymond Loewy's designs. (Google his name for some wonderful stuff on industrial design and his projects, among which are ash trays, locomotives, Sunbeam appliances and Studebakers.)
